Skimlinks adds tracking to some, primarily retailers' links, to show they come from this forum. For some retailers, instead of using Skimlinks to turn the link into a tracked link, we use affiliated links set up through other third parties. Then if it generates revenue from that, this site is paid. The links don't change the content, or what you see or track individual data ? but they do help fund this free forum. So we hope you choose to switch it on. See the full Skimlinks factsheet for more.

Seriously?! You think because she’s vaping she’s going to end up on hard drugs?! There are a lot of vape liquids that are nicotine free even so it might not be even that’s she’s ingesting nicotine.
She is eighteen years old therefore she is an adult. She can make her own decisions! I think you’re over-reacting just a tad. And why were you going through her stuff anyway?!

I'd have a conversation with her about it. If she's moved to vaping from smoking that's a good thing and you don't want her to go backwards!

However, nobody knows yet if there are going to be any long term health problems caused by inhaling whatever is in e-cigs, make sure she is aware that she is still taking a risk and that it isn't just a completely safe and harmless habit.

Nicotine isn't especially harmful, its just addictive. Its the other stuff in cigarettes (and possibly in vape liquid) that's the worry. If she has quit smoking and that's why she's vaping, maybe talk to her about other options? Suggest a trip to the GP to get patches or an inhalator or some mints on prescription for free?

Just discovered our lovely 18 year daughter is vaping , I was snooping - equipment fell out of bag when I was moving it - feeling absolutely gutted and terribly worried that this is a step on the rocky ladder to trying other substances.
Havent spoken to her yet but know I will have to tonight.

Honestly if you weren't a long standing forum member I would suspect you of trolling, this reaction is so overblown.
AT 18 she is old enough to make these choices and research the health risks of vaping herself. There are far, far worse things you could have found in her bag.

How this site works

We think it's important you understand the strengths and limitations of the site. We're a journalistic website and aim to provide the best MoneySaving guides, tips, tools and techniques, but can't guarantee to be perfect, so do note you use the information at your own risk and we can't accept liability if things go wrong.

This info does not constitute financial advice, always do your own research on top to ensure it's right for your specific circumstances and remember we focus on rates not service.

Do note, while we always aim to give you accurate product info at the point of publication, unfortunately price and terms of products and deals can always be changed by the provider afterwards, so double check first.

We don't as a general policy investigate the solvency of companies mentioned (how likely they are to go bust), but there is a risk any company can struggle and it's rarely made public until it's too late (see the Section 75 guide for protection tips).

We often link to other websites, but we can't be responsible for their content.

Always remember anyone can post on the MSE forums, so it can be very different from our opinion.

MoneySavingExpert.com is part of the MoneySupermarket Group, but is entirely editorially independent. Its stance of putting consumers first is protected and enshrined in the legally-binding MSE Editorial Code.
